It is now the Spring of 98, ten years since the project first began. People still ask me for copies of the Christmas tapes, and wonder when a new one might be produced. My family reminds me that I still enjoy putting them together and Rick insists that "itll be the last one". Truth of the matter is, they all may be right. There are a few "minor details" from the last tape that Ive wanted to tend to and Ive always wanted to package the whole shebang into a single release (a 2-CD release in this case!). Maybe, if theres time, well even throw in a couple new numbers.

Well, I guess Id better get to work! Hope you all enjoy the results - Hey! Whats going on in there!! Excuse me, I think I hear a group of young "producer trainees" in the studio fighting over my chair!
